"It has been an absolute privilege to serve as head coach for this fantastic football club for the past four years, and I am delighted to be extending my time in the role for at least a further two years," Skinner said.
"We are building a young, hungry team with the aim of challenging consistently for further trophies.
"There is still more hard work ahead, including this season, but the players and staff have already shown their determination to succeed, and I am looking forward to us taking the next steps in our journey together."
The Red Devils currently sit third in the WSL this season, level on points with second-placed Arsenal and six points behind leaders Chelsea with four games remaining.
They boast the best defence in the league, having conceded just nine goals this season, while they are on course to qualify for the Women's Champions League for the second time in their history, having finished second under Skinner in 2022-23.
